UDM Pro vs UDM SE.
The Special Edition is a Dream Machine Pro with PoE built into the switch ports and a 2.5 GbE WAN port, which for many racks means one less PoE switch or injector to buy. The standard Pro remains the value pick when you already have PoE covered. Both run the full UniFi OS application suite, both take a 3.5 inch drive for Protect, and both sell out regularly.
